41Blunted cone reentry vehicles
Nose bluntness mitigates reentry heating effects.
Charred ablative heat shield from the first KH-4
CORONA mission. This heat shield was supposed to
fall off after parachute deployment.
42Bluntness effects on drag coefficient
Small drag penalty for reducing nose heating
